We recently connected with Sudanese Worthy and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Sudanese , great to have you with us today and excited to have you share your wisdom with our readers. Over the years, after speaking with countless do-ers, makers, builders, entrepreneurs, artists and more we’ve noticed that the ability to take risks is central to almost all stories of triumph and so we’re really interested in hearing about your journey with risk and how you developed your risk-taking ability.
I want to share a little about my journey—how I developed my ability to take risks, and why I believe embracing risk is essential for growth, purpose, and making a difference.
As a little girl, I was fearless. My mother often told me stories about how, as a child, I loved being flipped in the air by my father—aimlessly, joyfully, without a hint of fear. I was never shy, never hesitant to explore what was new and unknown. I even potty trained myself by hopping onto an adult toilet and telling my mother, “I don’t use a potty, Mommy. I use big people’s toilet,” with my feet dangling just like that. I guess you could say I was born with a natural inclination to take risks—trusting myself, eager to learn, unafraid of the unknown.
My parents saw this too—they encouraged my independence. Their support nurtured my confidence, and I grew up believing I could do anything I set my mind to.
As I entered adulthood, I carried that fearless spirit, but I also learned the importance of caution. Life’s experiences—successes and failures—taught me to assess risks carefully, to balance courage with wisdom.
Throughout my life, I’ve been driven by a deep sense of purpose: to serve, to uplift, and to make a difference. As a serial entrepreneur, I’ve started businesses in challenging environments—like opening an herb shop and a fitness center in South Fulton—because I felt a calling to influence my community toward healthier, happier lives.
When I think of my loved ones lost to illness—my sister who battled MS, my brother who died in his early 20s—I feel a profound obligation. Their struggles and sacrifices fuel my determination to help others prevent suffering and live healthier, more vibrant lives.
Taking risks has been part of my journey, but it’s always been a calculated step—guided by purpose, driven by love, and supported by faith in myself. I believe that true courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s the willingness to move forward despite it.
To anyone listening—whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a community leader, or simply someone striving to realize your dreams—remember that your innate courage, combined with wisdom and purpose, can empower you to take meaningful risks. Embrace your fear, learn from your setbacks, and trust that your journey—no matter how challenging—is shaping you into the person you’re meant to become.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Three qualities that have been impactful during my journey are 1. The ability to be optimistic 2. Not taking things personally and 3. The ability to turn the “No’s” into “ON”
You know, life is full of challenges—those moments when you hear “no,” when things don’t go as planned, or when setbacks knock you down. At first, it’s easy to feel discouraged, to question if you’re on the right path. But I’ve learned something powerful: these moments are not the end—they are the beginning of your greatest growth.
Every rejection, every failure, every disappointment has a lesson hidden inside. They teach us resilience—how to stand back up, dust ourselves off, and keep going. They clarify what truly matters and help us sharpen our focus. When faced with setbacks, our fire is reignited. We want more. We do more. We push harder.
Because, you see, setbacks are not obstacles—they are opportunities. Opportunities to learn, to grow, and to prove to ourselves that we are capable of more than we ever imagined. These moments build character, confidence, and resilience—traits that will carry you through any storm.
My advise to folks who are early in their journey is to “not” fear the “no’s” or setbacks. Embrace them. Let them fuel your passion. Use them as stepping stones toward your dreams. Because the truth is: the more you face challenges head-on, the stronger, smarter, and more determined you become.
And when you do that—when you see setbacks as fuel—you’ll realize that your greatest successes are just beyond the next hurdle.
As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz played an important role in my development.
Practicing these 4 agreements 1. Be impeccable with your word 2. Don’t take anything personally 3. Don’t make assumptions 4. Always do your best.
But practicing these agreements, it’s helped improved relationships, freed myself from unnecessary suffering by understanding the power of beliefs and choices in creating a fulfilling life.
